What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice related to the law and order of the universe and the power of nature, interaction of humans and their environments.Feng Shui enables you to influence these interacting energies to achieve specific life improvements. Feng Shui is an art and science that encourages living in balance with our natural surroundings. it is related to is all that matter a great deal to people: their environment, places, time and a perfect balance of the yin and the yang to create a smooth flow of chi, energy, bringing in good fortune and happiness in all areas of one’s life.Feng Shui aims to promote prosperity, good health, success and general well being by examining how energy flows through your living environment.

The basic principle is that life-force energy, known in China as "chi", flows through your dwellings and has a powerful effect on the way you feel and think. Feng Shui examines how the surrounding landscape, layout, furniture and objects within it affect the energy flow in your room, house, building, or garden, and how these objects interact with and influence your personal energy flow. Your personal energy flow affects how you think and act, which in turn affects how well you perform and succeed in your personal and professional life. When your space is filled with positive energy and symbols, you feel happy and motivated.

The words Feng Shui mean "wind" and "water", which are the two most essential forms of natural energy on earth. Wind and water are the two natural elements that flow, move, and circulate everywhere on Earth. They are also the most basic elements required for human survival. When both wind and water are balanced and flowing, nature is in harmony. A "state of grace" exists. Wind and water are direct carriers of chi, as their flowing quality reflects their essential nature.Thus, Feng Shui is the art of designing environments in harmony with the flow of chi through one's living space, and this flow supports and enhances one's personal chi or life force.We began our existence close to nature and must bring its healing properties into our bodies and surroundings in order to thrive.Feng Shui is rooted in a holistic worldview. It sees all things and creatures as part of a natural order, a vast environment that is alive and in flux, ever moving and changing. Each thing in this natural order is equally alive and has an energetic value or component. So everything — plants, animals, people, and things — exists in a vast landscape that swirls with vital energy. The same energy that flows through the world flows through you as well. In fact, according to this view, your essence — the part of you that makes you alive, unique, and vital — is this energy. And your body is the vehicle or environment in which this essence flows.

You can't control the Feng Shui of the world at large. But Feng Shui enables you to design your personal environment according to the same universal principles of energy flow by which planets spin in their orbits and galaxies wheel through space.

Feng Shui affects you every moment of the day — whether you're aware of it or not.Feng Shui gives you a variety of techniques to increase, moderate and circulate energy, which ultimately creates harmony and peace.
